Objective:To explore the effect of failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA) in the management of nosocomial infection, and provide reference for the effective prevention and control of nosocomial infection.Methods:Using FMEA to identify, analyze, evaluate and screen out the high-risk events of nosocomial infection in January 2020, from which two hospital level priority improvement projects of hand hygiene compliance and blood-borne occupational exposure were determined. After risk control and intervention measures, the effects before and after improvement were compared.Results:Except for the lack of incentive mechanism and insufficient communication between medical and nursing teams, the differences in hand hygiene compliance and blood-borne occupational exposure risk priority coefficients before and after the implementation of FMEA were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . After the implementation of FMEA, the hand hygiene compliance was 74.92% (79375/105953) , which was significantly higher than 68.40% (58361/85328) before the implementation of FMEA, and the difference was statistically significant (χ 2=996.55, P<0.01) . The incidence of blood-borne occupational exposure after the implementation of FMEA was 3.85% (80/2080) , which was lower than the 6.16% (123/1998) before the implementation of FMEA, and the difference was statistically significant (χ 2=11.49, P<0.01) . Conclusion:FMEA has a good effect in nosocomial infection management. It can identify and evaluate the risk of nosocomial infection prospectively, so as to control the risk effectively.

Non-invasive mechanical ventilation(NIV)is increasingly being used as a respiratory support technique in clinical practice.However,the pressure-related injuries should not be overlooked.In order to prevent local pressure injuries caused by NIV technology,a series of preventive measures have been adopted in clinical work.These measures include the use of dressings to provide pressure relief to the local skin.Currently,in clinical practice,when using preventive dressings,nurses need to cut them themselves based on the physiological structure of the patient's nose,forehead,or face.However,precise cutting can be challenging.If the dressing is cut too small,it may not provide adequate prevention,and if it's cut too large,it can cover too much skin,affecting the nurse's observation and the patient's comfort.Additionally,during NIV treatment,the preventive dressings used may become curled or displaced,requiring nurses to re-cut and replace them.This process inevitably leads to material wastage,increasing the cost of dressing use for patients.Moreover,the cutting tools used must meet infection control requirements,adding to the nursing workload and reducing the compliance of nurses in changing dressings.Our research team has designed a ready-made pressure injury prevention dressing component for use with NIV masks to prevent pressure injuries to the nasal and facial areas.It is precisely designed,flexible in composition,easy to use,and can provide multiple usage modes.It effectively combines emergency care with pressure relief measures,reducing the occurrence of pressure injuries to the patient's nasal and facial areas.This improves patient comfort and treatment compliance,facilitates technology-based nursing,and enhances clinical efficiency.It has significant clinical application value and has been granted a National Utility Model Patent(ZL 202020529121.6).
